Ngl the critical reception doesn't really matter to me, though I bet it's a key performance indicator to the network, same with the viewership numbers.
I think it's good we're getting more Star Trek, almost as a rule, but I just wish I enjoyed watching the properties that came out more. SFA, Disco and Picard didn't click. Lower Decks was phenomenal and SNW feels closer to the mark but still feels off.
It's cool that they wanna take in spec scripts from other writers, though, maybe that'll bring back some of the feeling of the old shows.
And plenty of people do enjoy watching those. Discovery means an enormous amount to me due to the representation that was in that that hasn't been anywhere before. Same with SFA representing teens. I don't necessarily relate with the SFA one but I'm just appreciative that they're making something for other people too. We've had our Trek for a long time. It's time for the next generation. Star Trek has NEVER been stagnant. Star Trek has NEVER been always the same. They're all radically different but we look back on them with nostalgia. The only thing that they shared was a syndicated format of television but TV has evolved. You'll never be able to go back home.
